Recent course and distance winner Strategic Fortune seems sure to deliver another solid account and seeks to back up last month's victory here. He should certainly be in the mix once again but AMALFI SALSA gets the nod. The Botti filly has improved on a race-by-race basis on the all-weather this term and gives the impression this extra furlong and a half will be in her favour, having stayed on stoutly over a mile when a Chelmsford runner-up last time. Quoteline Direct wins in his turn but is hard to predict and the likes of Lenny's Spirit and Uther Pendragon could prove better shortlist alternatives.
